Summary

MOVIETONE CARD TITLE: For Your Pint. DESCRIPTION: This is the time of year when the hop harvest is gathered. It’s an old English tradition, and there are people who’ve been doing it all their lives. A lot of the work, nowadays, is given over to machines. But that’s not the true picture of hopping. The word still means holiday-with-pay (with work) for many families. Indeed, more bushels were gathered here, last year, by hand than by machine. SHOTLIST: Key scene. MS hop being gathered. MS same. MCU hops on way to mechanical pickers. MS same. MS same. MS same.
